Benefits of technology

[0006]An advantage of some aspects of the invention is to provide a shaping slurry with which scattering of granules can be suppressed during the shaping procedure using granules, and a shaping method using such shaping slurries.

Problems solved by technology

The granules adhered to the droplet discharge head not only contaminate the droplet discharge head, but clog the nozzles in the droplet discharge head, leading to possible droplet discharge failures.
Note that these problems related to the scattering of granules are not just the problems of the lamination shaping method using a droplet discharge apparatus, but are commonly shared by a whole range of shaping methods that use granules.
Further, because the water-based solvent is used as the solvent that suppresses scattering of the granules, the granules are unlikely to undergo changes in property due to dissolving in the solvent or swelling with the absorbed solvent.
In other words, the solubility between the layers lowers, with the result that the adhesion between the layers, and thus the mechanical strength between the layers becomes weak.
As a result, the solubility for the water-based solvent decreases.
As a result, the solubility for the water-based solvent increases.
Further, because the water-based solvent is used as the solvent that suppresses scattering of the granules, the granules are unlikely to undergo changes in property due to dissolving in the solvent or swelling with the absorbed solvent.

[0104](A) Chaline R-1705, (B) water, and (C) various Povals were mixed in the following proportions to form a slurry.

[0105](A):(B):(C)=7:3.1:0.22 (unit, g)

[0106]Five different Povals (JP-05, JP-15, JP-24, JT-05, JT-15) with different polymerization degrees and different saponification degrees were used. The slurries were evaluated with regard to the fixing strength between slurry layers laminated at 23° C., and solubility for 18° C. cold water. The fixing strength was evaluated by measuring the tensile elastic modulus according to the methods of JISK7161 and JISK7162. Table 1 below presents the evaluation results for the fixing strength and solubility of the slurries using the different Povals.

Abstract

A shaping slurry that forms a shaped product with a granule includes: a water-based solvent; a hydrophobic granule that forms the shaped product; and an amphiphatic solid polymer that forms the shaped product, and is dissolved in the water-based solvent.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]This invention relates to shaping slurries used for shaping, and shaping methods using such shaping slurries.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]The lamination shaping method has been commonly used as a method of rapidly producing a prototype shaped product (rapid prototyping). In the lamination shaping method, a shaped product model created by three-dimensional CAD or the like is divided into multiple two-dimensional cross sectional layers, and a laminate structure corresponding to each two-dimensional cross sectional layer is formed one after another and laminated to form a shaped product. Specifically, for example, as described in Japanese Patent No. 2729110, granules containing ceramics, metals, or the like are formed into a layer. Then, a binding liquid that binds the granules in part of the granule layer is discharged onto the granule layer using, for example, an inkjet droplet discharge apparatus. The binding liquid permeates the space between th...
